SUNDAY, OCTOBER 19
SARAH DAVIS
2:00 PM ~ GATHERING ROOM

On Sunday, October 19th a rising star is coming to Johns Creek UMC. Hailed by the New York Times as "a voice with considerable warmth," lyric-soprano, Sarah Davis has been recognized nationally as a gifted performer both on the recital and operatic stage. She made her professional recital debut with the "Trinity at One Concert Series" in New York City singing song cycles by Jake Heggie and Libby Larsen, appeared in the Joy In Singing series at the Lincoln Center Library and premiered John Harbison's grand aria for soprano and piano, Vocalism, at SongFest in Malibu, CA. Twice, Ms. Davis was an Artist in Residence at the Cleveland Art Song Festival working with Stephanie Blythe and Christine Brewer. She also spent two months in residence as a Vocal Fellow with the Tanglewood Music Center in Massachusetts (Repertoire included: Mahler, Canteloube, Mozart, Schumann, Carter and Eric Nathan). The 2014 American prize winning soprano's program will consist of arias, art songs and American folk songs. This is a free event.
